Stratford Music Cafe closes a year after opening
THE show will not go on for a music café in Stratford, which is shutting down barely a year after launching.
The Stratford Music Café staged its last performance on Saturday night (April 30).
Former dancers Carl Walker and Ian Meeson ran the musical theatre-themed bistro like a 'normal' café in the daytime.
But come the evenings, the venue on the corner of Greenhill Street and Windsor Street, took on a cabaret atmosphere with live jazz, classical and folk music.
It also hosted a variety of talks, quizzes, plays and movie nights.
Marking the end of its 12-month run, a post on the café’s Facebook page reads: ‘£30,000 to musicians and actors, 300 performances. A great hub. Thanks all, but the show ends tonight.’
The post also revealed that new buyers ‘have beautiful plans for the venue’.
